I am super excited to debut my third novel, Project NEMISYS! This was truly a labor of love and it took me a while to get it to the light of day. But now it’s available in paperback and ebook format over at Amazon. I hope you’ll give it a try (and honest reviews are […]

Not Dead, Just Busy
For me, writing was a dream that became a hobby that morphed into a passion. Unfortunately, passion doesn’t pay the bills…at least, not yet! I have been fortunate enough to earn my way into a demanding career that fills my days (and some nights). My wife and I are blessed with a full home of kids […]
A Healthy Dose of Coulrophobia
The movie adaptation of Stephen King’s It premieres this Friday. My son (aka my trusty horror-movie sidekick) and I have already secured our tickets. If the trailers are any indication, this movie looks to be true to the novel…and absolutely terrifying. Stephen King is the master of taking benign, everyday things and making them into […]
Headless Chickens & Other Obfuscations
So it turns out, I might not be the only writer in the family. I found a small note on my desk today, scrawled on a piece of scratch paper. Recognizing the handwriting, I sought out my 8YO offspring and asked her what it was about. I was very curious to know what this meant. […]
Spring Sacrifices & Ritualistic Rabbits
Today my male offspring made a gruesome discovery. Something (or someone) had left a decapitated rabbit’s head at the bottom of our driveway. As you’ll note in the photo evidence he took (Exhibit A), there is no blood and there are no jagged gobbets of flesh around the severing wound. This was a clean cut and […]
Ever Have Ones of Those Nightmares?
You know…the ones that are so vivid and terrifying that you waste the rest of the night’s precious sleeping hours binge-watching mindless sitcoms to calm your nerves? You turn off your alarm early because you’re already wide awake. You rise and do the zombie shuffle because your joints ache from the dream’s physical effects. You’re in […]
Update on WIP
Still chugging along on the new untitled work in progress. It’s a dystopian scifi series and I am at about 108K words (more than enough to pare down into a decent-sized novel). Initial draft is done and now I am chugging through some fleshing out of the details as the characters and scenes emerge in greater […]
Building My Writing Lair: Designs Approved!
Aside from writing, one of my other passions is DIY home renovations. To date, my lovely wife and I have renovated four houses and we’re about 70% down with our current home in North Carolina. She designs, I build, and together we renovate. The current house is a 4400+ sq feet piece of awesome built […]
If You Are Indie, You Need #IndieChat!
Last night, I attend my first Tweet-up for #indiechat. It was full of fellow indie writers who were engaged, knowledgeable and very willing to share with the group. This was especially important to me since I am still such a newbie. I was completely blown away by the amount of valuable information that was coming […]
Good Things Come
This sentiment holds especially true for those of us in the indie/self-publishing game, wouldn’t you say?
